PIASA  CHAUTAUQUA  AS  A   SUMMER    RESORT 


PIASA  CHAUTAUQUA  is  a  summer  resort  with  an  As- 
sembly season,  conducted  on  broad  lines,  as  outlined 
more  fully  on  page  4.  It  is  now  in  its  29th  year,  and  has 
always  observed  the  same  broad,  liberal  policy  which  has 
been  appreciated  by  all  who  have  enjoyed  their  summers 
there. 


It  may  be  interesting  to  some  to  know  something  about 
the  origin  of  the  word  which  is  so  dear  to  us  all.  According 
to  legend,  the  Piasa  was  a  large  bird,  or  rather  half  bird, 
half  beast,  that  made  its  home  in  a  cave  in  the  Piasa  bluffs. 
At  night  it  slept,  but  in  the  day  time  went  forth  to  seek  its 
human  prey,  but  was  finally  killed  by  old  Ouatoga,  the  Indian 
chieftain,  who  jeopardized  his  own  life  to  save  his  people 
from  extinction. 

We  cannot  vouch  for  the  truth  of  the  statements  regard- 
ing the  Piasa  bird,  but  we  can  assure  one  and  all  that  there 
is  no  longer  any  terror  of  this  or  any  other  kind  at  Piasa, 
but  there  are  beautiful  woods  and  groves  surrounding  this 
quiet,  peaceful  valley  where  the  soft,  refreshing  breezes  of 
summer  and  the  glorious  paintings  of  Nature  all  sing  the 
song  of  rest  and  peace  at  Piasa  Chautauqua. 


"The  groves  were  God's  first  temples;  ere  man  learned 

To  hew  the  shaft  and  lay  the  architrave, 
And  spread  the  roof  above  them,  ere  he  framed 

The  lofty  vault,  to  gather  and  roll  back 
The  sound  of  anthems,  in  the  darkling  wood, 

Amidst  the  cool  and  silence,  he  knelt  down  ' 
And  offeree  to  the  Mightiest  solemn  thanks 

And  supplication."  — W.  C.  Bryant. 


Twenty-eight  years  ago,  several  ministers  of  the  Gospel 
and  a  few  laymen  decided  to  rescue  from  the  ravages  of  dis- 
sipation the  beautiful  valley  now  known  as  Piasa  Chautauqua. 
An  organization  was  formed  and  a  few  tents  placed,  and  what 
was  known  for  many  years  in  the  surrounding  neighborhood 
as  "The  Camp"  was  established. 

As  the  interest  increased,  improvements  of  a  more  per- 
manent nature  took  place,  until  at  the  present  time,  Piasa 
Chautauqua  covers  an  area  of  310  acres  with  110  substantial 
residences,  some  of  them  quite  elaborate  and  expensive,  more 
being  erected  each  season,  an  Assembly  Period  each  year 
with  high  grade  entertainment  of  a  moral,  spiritual  and  intel- 
lectual nature;  and  back  of  all  this,  that  which  insures  its 
success  and  guarantees  to  the  visitor  everything  strictly  first 
class,  is  the  body  of  Christian  Gentlemen  who  form  the  Board 
of  Directors,  and  who  have  devoted  their  time  and  money  to 
the  up-building  of  this  splendid  place. 

Piasa  Chautauqua  is  located  less  than  forty  miles  from 
St.  Louis  in  a  beautiful  valley  between  high,  massive  bluffs, 
with  the  Mississippi  at  its  front  and  an  almost  unexplored 
forest  at  its  back,  one  of  Nature's  most  picturesque  spots 
and  dear  to  all  those  who  have  enjoyed  its  beauties,  its  clear, 
pure  air,  delightfully  cool  nights  and  beautiful  scenery. 


Piasa  Chautauqua  is  located  on  the  east  bank  of  the  Miss- 
issippi River,  less  than  two  hour's  ride  from  St.  Louis,  with 
frequent  trains  and  boats  at  low  rates.  It  is  accessible  from 
all  points  and  within  the  means  of  all  who  take  a  summer 
vacation.  The  business  man  can  live  at  Chautauqua  and  be 
at  his  business  during  the  day  without  loss  of  time  or  increase 
in  living  expenses.  Furnished  cottages  can  be  rented  at 
reasonable  prices  for  the  season  or  by  the  week  or  month. 
The  hotel  accommodations  are  first  class  and  at  very  reason- 
able rates. 

Excursions  rates  are  offered  duiing  the  entire  assembly 
period,  by  both  railroads  and  steamboats.  The  man  who  can 
only  take  a  day  or  two  from  business  or  possibly  be  away 
over  Sunday  only,  does  not  wish  to  devote  so  much  time  and 
money  to  getting  to  and  from  his  resting  place,  and  he  with 
the  loger  vacation  may  not  care  to  spend  all  his  entertain- 
ment fund  in  transportation.  He  can  avoid  this  by  coming 
to  Piasa  Chautauqua.

WHAT  PIASA  CHAUTAUQUA   STANDS  FOR 

PIASA  CHAUTAUQUA  in  the  Summer  Assembly  season 
stands  primarily  for  the  simplicity  and  naturalness  of 
Christian  living.     It  is  built  on  the  faith  that  unaffected, 
straighforward  religion  makes  a  life  neither  sanctimonious 
nor  fanatical,  but  simple,  normal,  vital,  free  and  glad. 

Piasa  Chautauqua  aims,  therefore,  to  realize  such  a  com- 
munity as  religion  of  that  sort  creates.  In  its  independent 
environment  it  presents  a  concrete  picture  of  social  Christian- 
ity, applied  not  in  any  Utopian  scheme,  but  in  the  everyday 
relations  of  neighbors  dwelling  wholesomely  together  on 
principles  of  Christian  good  will. 

In  an  atmosphere  as  unconstrained  as  the  atmosphere 
of  a  good  home,  Piasa  Chautauqua  rejoices  in  all  the  spon- 
taneous joys  of  family  and  neighborhood  life,  enlarging  the 
family  sympathies  to  include  the  neighborhood  and  intensi- 
fying the  neighborhood  sense  with  much  of  common  interest. 
Not  as  an  addition  to,  but  as  an  expression  of  the  simple 
life  it  wishes  to  cultivate. 


THE  "LOG  CABIN" 
C.  Bernet,  Pres.  of  Piasa  Chautauqua,  St.  Louis,  Mo. 

Piasa  Chautauqua  gives  large  place  for  recreations  amuse- 
ments— downright  fun.  From  the  initial  of  religion  Piasa 
Chautauqua  reaches  out  for  everything  that  is  hearty,  hale, 
whole  and  unpretentious,  and  finds  itself  still  within  the 
pale  of  religion  interpreted  by  its  own  large  ideals. 

Whoever  loves  this  comprehensive  wholeness  of  life  and 
despises  the  tacked-on  conventionalities  of  artificial  social 
standards — whoever  prefers  freedom  and  frankness— will  be 
welcome  at  Piasa  Chautauqua,  and  having  come,  will  be 
glad  for  Piasa  Chautauqua. 

Come  ye  into  the  summer  woods; 

There  entereth  no  annoy; 
AH  greenly  wave  the  chestnut  leaves, 

And  the  earth  is  full  of  joy. 

And  far  within  that  summer  wood 

Among  the  leaves  so  green, 
There  flows  a  little  gurgling  brook, 

The  brightest  e'er  was  seen. 

Mary  Howitt.

THE  COST  OF  LIVING. 

Expenses  at  Chautauqua  are  made  as  small  as  possible, 
thus  placing  an  outing  on  the  grounds  within  the  reach  of 
all.  Besides  the  hotel  there  are  many  private  boarding 
houses  and  cottages  where  guests  can  obtain  rooms  and 
board,  or  rooms  and  accommodations  for  light  housekeeping. 

The  store  will  be  open  throughout  the  season,  and  all 
kinds  of  groceries,  fresh  fruits  and  vegetables,  meats,  bread 
and  cakes  can  be  had  at  prices  as  low  as  those  of  a  city.  The 
gardeners  have  an  abundant  supply  of  fresh  vegetables 
throughout  the  entire  season.  Fresh  butter,  milk  and  eggs 
are  supplied  by  the  farmers  of  the  neighborhood  at  very 
reasonable  prices.  Two  refreshment  pavillions  are  open — 
one  at  the  main  entrance,  and  the  other  near  the  auditorium — 
where  lunches,  ice  cream,  fruit  and  confectionery  are  sold. 
A  number  of  furnished  cottages  can  be  rented  for  all  or  a 
part  of  the  season,  at  from  $50  to  $125  for  the  entire  season, 
and  fine  lots  and  platforms  for  tenting  can  also  be  rented. 
In  every  way  Chautauqua  is  an  ideal  place  and  accommoda- 
tions are  obtainable  at  prices  to  suit  all  purses.  Telephone 
and  telegraph  communication  can  be  had  with  all  parts  of 
the  country.  Only  licensed  and  trustworthy  dealers  are  ad- 
mitted to  the  grounds.  Mails  are  received  and  sent  out 
three  times  a  day,  except  Sunday.  Have  your  mail  addressed 
to  Chautauqua,  111.

PIASA  CHAUTAUQUA  AS  A  SUMMER  RESORT 


PIASA  SPRING    WATER.  , 

THE  Hotel,  Cottages  and  Swimming  Pool  are  all  supplied 
with  the  great  health-giving  Piasa  Spring  Water,  an 
analysis  of  which  shows  it  to  be  almost  identical  with  the 
famous  Eureka  Springs  water. 

The  water  is  clear,  cool,  soft,  pleasant  and  palatable. 
Purity  is  its  greatest  quality.  There  is  not  the  slightest 
taint  of  mineral  or  other  foreign  substance  in  its  taste. 
Pure  water  is  nature's  greatest  solvent;  it  is  the  principle 
factor  in  healthy  digestion,  assimilation  and  excretion.  Un- 
adulterated with  minerals  or  drugs  of  any  kind,  it  is  the 
greatest  tonic  of  all  waters.  Pure  natural  spring  water  will 
kill  germs  which  will  live  in  distilled  water. 

It  is  hard  to  realize  that  water  which  possesses  only  the 
innate  quality  of  being  pure,  can  perform  the  remarkable 
cures  attributed  to  the  spring  water,  but  if  you  doubt  it, 
the  proofs  are  at  hand.  The  theory  is  that  the  water,  being 
so  pure,  cures  by  filtering  through  the  tissues  of  the  body 
and  washing  out  impurities  which  clog  the  canals. 

The  water  of  the  Piasa  Springs  is  supplied  by  the  water 
system  to  all  parts  of  the  grounds,  and  to  many  of  the  cot- 
tages, at  a  nominal  charge. 


V\  T  HAT  more  attractive  feature  could  be  suggested  for  a 
**  summer  resort  than  the  great  Chautauqua  bathing 
pool  ?  The  pool  is  constructed  of  concrete,  is  about  one  hun- 
dred and  seventy-five  feet  long,  seventy  feet  wide  and  varies 
in  depth  from  two  feet  at  the  entrance  to  eight  feet  at  the 
opposite  end.  Depth  at  different  points  is  plainly  indicated 
by  large  figures,  and  the  increase  is  so  gradual  that  there 
is  no  danger  for  those  who  cannot  swim,  while  the  swimmer 
has  room  to  enjoy  as  long  a  dash  as  is  usually  desired.  An 
expert  is  in  constant  attendance  to  assist  those  who  may 
wish  to  learn  to  swim.  Watching  the  bathers  is  one  of  the 
favorite  pastimes  of  those  who  do  not  desire  to  take  a 
plunge  in  the  pool. 

Steam  pipes  are  run  through  the  water  and  keep  it  at 
a  comfortable  temperature  at  all  times.  The  pool  is  bril- 
liantly lighted  with  electric  lights,  and  with  the  water 
heated,  bathing  will  be  enjoyable  during  the  evening  as  well 
as  the  day.  There  are  spring  boards,  tubs,  ropes,  etc.,  afford- 
ing a  variety  of  water  amusements. 

Private  dressing  rooms  and  bathing  suits  can  be  had  at 
reasonable  prices. 

A  refreshment  stand  is  operated  in  connection  with  the 
pool  where  ices,  light  refreshments  and  cooling  drinks  can 
be  had.  No  intoxicants  are  sold. 


THE  SIWIMMING  POOD. 


YE  POSTCARD  SHOP. 

One  of  the  most  interesting  places  on  the  grounds  is  Mr.  Behymer's  postcard  shop,  where  all  styles  of  postcards,  can  be  had: 
the  sublime,  the  ridiculous,  the  sentimental,  the  serious;  also  books,  periodicals,  stationery,  pencils,  pen,  ink,  etc. 

THE  POST  OFFICE. 

Will  be  open  after  June  1st  and  will  be  fully  equipped  with  all  the  necessaries,  including  postage  stamps,  postal  cards  and 
all  other  supplies.     Have  your  mail  addressed  to  Chautauqua,  Illinois.

THE   CHILDREN   AT   CHAUTAUQUA 

The  children  always  enjoy  Chautauqua.  Not  only  is  it  a 
place  of  pleasure  for  them,  but  it  is  one  where  they  can  profit 
both  mentally  and  physically.  The  clubs  and  various  sports 
will  keep  them  interested,  and  the  panorama  of  the  river, 
with  its  passing  boats,  is  always  an  attraction;  the  great 
swimming  pool  is  of  such  depths  that  they  can  enter  it 
without  the  least  danger;  swings,  games,  etc.,  will  keep  them 
busy,  and  the  play  ground  will  always  interest  them. 


WHEBE  THE  CHILDREN  LIKE  TO  PLAY 
Fresh  air  and  sunlight  make  the  best  citizens.      Shakespeare's 
idea  of  "books  in  the  running  brooks"  is  akin  to  modern  educa- 
tional methods. 

Besides  this,  there  are  special  features  for  the  children  on 
the  Chautauqua  Assembly  program.  The  boys  and  girls 
can  depend  on  having  a  fine  time  when  they  go  to  Piasa 
Chautauqua  this  year. 

How  often  do  you  speak  of  some  day's  outing  as  having 
been  a  "red-letter  day?"  If  you  will  arrange  for  a  vacation 
at  the  Piasa  Chautauqua,  you  will  look  back  to  the  time  with 
the  feeling  that  every  day  was  a  "red-letter  day."  A  splen- 
did program,  elegant  grounds,  a  grand  swimming  pool, 
excellent  boating  and  fine  hotel  accommodations  combine  to 
make  the  outing  one  which  will  always  be  associated  with 
pleasant  memories.  Arrange  for  the  trip  early  and  organize 
a  party  among  your  friends  to  spend  the  summer  vacation 
at  this  delightful  spot.  The  expenses  are  small,  the  returns 
in  pleasure,  profit  and  health  are  large. 

"The  birds  around  me  hopp'd  and  play'd; 

Their  thoughts  I  cannot  measure — 
But  the  least  motion  which  they  made 

It  seemed  a  thrill  of  pleasure. 
The  budding  twigs  spread  out  their  fan, 

To  catch  the  breezy  air: 
And  I  must  think,  do  all  I  can, 

That  there  was  pleasure  there." 

— William  Wordsworth.

SHORT  TRIPS  FROM  CHAUTAUQUA 


Many  beautiful  and 
interesting  spots  can 
be  reached  by  short 
trips  from  Chautauqua, 
which  can  be  made  on 
foot  or  by  boat. 
Among  these  are  the 
Jerseyville  Road,  with 
its  wealth  of  wild 
flowers.  Nugent's 
Bluff,  Elsah,  Portage 
des  Sioux,  Grafton, 
Grafton,  Babb's  Hol- 
low, Pern  Valley,  Illi- 
nois River,  Alton,  Jer- 
seyville, Lover's  Leap, 
and  the  Indian  Mounds. 
An  outing  among  the 
Piasa  Bluffs  is  one 
which  will  always  be 
remembered  with 
pleasure.  Piasa  Chau- 
tauqua is  situated  in 
the  most  picturesque 
part  of  the  Mississippi 

Valley,   filled   with   romance   and   folklore   of   long   ago,   and 
every  spot  is  interesting. 


WEEK  END  TRIPS 


SUNSET  HILL. 


Not  every  one  can 
take  a  vacation.  Some 
of  us  are  chained  to 
the  desk,  no  matter 
how  uncomfortable  the 
weather.  The  only  re- 
lief from  the  city, 
when  the  streets  bs- 
come  like  hot  Arizona 
canyons,  and  the  nights 
forbid  sleep  is  the 
Week  End  Trip  from 
Saturday  noon  to  Mon- 
day morning  to  find  a 
spot  near  to  nature's 
heart,  to  revel  in  the 
pure  air  of  all  out- 
doors and  go  back  to 
work  with  a  new  lease 
of  life,  is  the  thing. 
The  question  of  where 
"LOVER'S  LEAP."  +o  go  is  solved  by 

Piasa  Chautauqua.  Ninety  minutes  after  leaving  St.  Louis, 
the  office-tired  man  or  woman  finds  perfect  rest  and  simple 
pleasure  and  amusements,  and  a  bed  where  blankets  are 
always  necessary,  so  cool  are  the  nights  at  Piasa  Chautauqua.

Dickens  Day 

Charles  Dickens  was,  in  his  time,  the  best  interpreter  of 
the  common  life.  His  writings  are  instinct  with  reality. 
The  men,  women  and  children  of  his  novels  are  not  creations 
of  a  fantastic  imagination,  they  are  transcripts  from  life. 
And  there  is  always  a  touch  of  the  universal.  His  message 
to  the  England  of  his  day  is  vital  for  the  age  in  which  we 
live.  It  is  a  message  sometimes  of  sunshine,  sometimes  of 
tears,  but  always  hopeful  in  its  outlook  and  supremely  in- 
teresting.

THE   OPENING  NIGHT 

H"1  HE  Twenty-ninth  Annual  Opening  will  be  held  Saturday, 
^  July  13th,  an  event  of  great  interest  to  all  those  to 
whom  Chautauqua  is  dear;  and  for  this  occasion  we  have 
selected  what  is,  perhaps,  one  of  the  best  features  of  the 
entire  program.  SCHILDKRET'S  HUNGARIAN  ORCHES- 
TRA, who  will  give  their  first  concert  at  2:30  Saturday 
afternoon. 

A  few  words  at  this   time  regarding  this   musical   Or- 
ganization will  not  be  amiss. 


Schildkret's  Hungarian  Orchestra  was  brought  over  from 
Hungary  during  the  World's  Fair  year,  and  was  especially 
engaged  for  concert  work  in  Chicago  at  that  time  through 
Mrs.  Potter  Palmer,  Chairman  of  the  Ladies'  Committee  at 
the  World's  Fair,  and  played  at  many  of  the  most  important 
concerts  and  social  affairs  during  that  memorable  year.  They 
were  also  especially  engaged  for  a  season  at  Old  Vienna  and 
received  the  first  grand  gold  medal  for  their  work.  Since 
that  time  they  have  played  all  through  the  East,  returning 
to  Chicago  in  time  to  play  for  Prince  Henry  on  his  tour 
through  this  country  some  years  ago.  While  in  Washington 
Mr.  Schildkret  played  at  Washington  Park  Club,  attended 
by  Miss  Alice  Roosevelt,  so  it  is  not  surprising  that  he  was 
summoned  to  Washington  to  play  at  her  wedding. 

Mr.  Schildkret  is  without  a  peer  as  a  leader,  has  studied 
the  wants  of  the  lyceum  people  and  knows  what  to  give  the 
public  in  the  way  of  concert  programs.  The  company  in- 
cludes as  soloists,  a  pianist,  violinist  and  flutist,  Mr.  Schild- 
kret himself  being  one  of  the  greatest  flute  soloists  in  the 
world. 


Dr.  Lichliter  has 
limited  his  Chautauqua 
work  to  only  one  or 
two  engagements  each 
season,  although  for  a 
number  of  years  he  has 
been  platform  manager 
and  morning  lecturer 
at  the  Merum  Chautau- 
qua, Ind.,  and  formerly 
had  charge  of  the 
young  people's  work  at 
the  original  Chautau- 
qua on  the  lake  in 
western  New  York. 

"Dr.  Lichliter  is  a 
man  of  brilliant  parts 
and  of  infinite  resource. 
He  is  one  of  the  most 
advanced  thinkers  in 
the  Church."

MR.  LICHLITER 


The  Anitas  present  unique  programmes  of  orchestral 
music,  of  choruses,  of  instrumental  and  vocal  solos,  of 
duets,  trios,  quartets  and  readings. 

No  expense  has  been  spared  in  the  organization  of  this 
company  in  securing  the  right  people  and  in  costuming  and 
coaching  it  for  each  individual  number  of  the  programme, 
and  in  preparing  the  whole  organization  in  its  work  to  meet 
the  most  critical  audiences  and  popular  demands. 

The  Anitas  are  an  organization  of  artistic,  versatile 
women  and  have  pleased  wherever  they  have  been  presented.

COL.  BAIX. 


Col.  Bain  is  one  of  the  most  widely 
known  and  generally  successful  popular 
lecturers  known.  A  short  time  ago  one 
of  his  contemporaries  who  has  traveled 
this  country  over  and  over,  and  has 
himself  delivered  more  than  five  thou- 
sand lectures,  said:  "Col.  Bain  has  done 
more  good  than  any  other  man  on  the 
American  platform."  No  audience  ever 
felt  the  sway  of  his  oratory  without  a 
vision  of  a  great  personality,  matchless 
in  character,  masterful  in  brain,  sym- 
pathetic in  heart  and  sublime  in  purpose. 


Col.  Bain  is  just  in  his  prime,  doing  the  best  work  of  his 
life.  He  has  a  phenomenal  Chautauqua  record.  The  call 
exceeds  the  number  of  available  dates  from  year  to  year.  He 
has  lectured  for  hundreds  of  Chautauquas,  lyceums,  schools, 
colleges  and  societies  throughout  the  United  States  with 
never  a  dissatisfied  audience.  The  universal  report  is  "He 
pleased,  instructed,  and  did  us  good.  We  want  him  again." 


THE  MENDELSSOHN  QUARTET  COMPANY 

IV/IALE  quartets  have  always  been  a  popular  style  of 
^'•^  entertainment.  However,  in  the  Mendelssohn  Com- 
pany we  present  something  entirely  new;  a  quartet  appear- 
ing in  the  latest  form  of  evening  dress,  and  in  addition  to 
vocal  work,  performing  upon  the  violin  and  the  cello,  retain- 
ing the  spirit  of  the  historic  minstrel  entertainer. 


ROSS  ORANE. 


Mr.  Crane  is  a  car- 
toonist, clay  modeler, 
and  all-around  prince 
of  entertainers ;  for- 
merly cartoonist  on  a 
metropolitan  news- 
paper,  and  his  draw- 
ings have  the  bigness, 
swiftness  and  vitality 
which  characterize  the 
newspaper  cartoons.  He 
draws  a  multitude  of 
pictures,  in  colors,  on 
immense  sheets  of  fine 
tinted  paper,  portraits, 
caricatures,  Illustra- 
tions of  character,  land- 
scapes beautiful  in  the 
extreme,  and  marvel- 
ous transformation 
scenes,  all  drawn  with 
surpassing  speed  and 
accuracy. 


MUD  THROWING— But  No  Hard  Feelings. 
Perhaps  the  most  fascinating  of  all  the  delightful  features 
of  the  multifold  program.  Herein  is  seen  Ross  Crane's 
sure  mastery  of  technic,  gained  through  the  artist's  years 
of  study  from  life.  In  the  space  of  twenty  minutes  he  pro- 
duces under  the  swift  magic  of  his  hands  protraits  of  histori- 
cal characters  and  also  of  national  types  and  humorous 
creations,  all  illustrating  the  various  points  of  his  lecture. 


In  the  days  "When  Knighthood  was  in  Flower"  there 
appeared  the  prototype  of  the  modern  minstrel.  He  was  a 
unique  character,  refined,  and  artistic  in  temperament,  a 
combination  of  poet  and  musician,  who  spent  his  days  stroll- 
ing from  village  to  village  singing  his  songs  and  reciting 
his  verses  to  all  who  appeared,  from  the  lords  and  ladies  of 
the  court  and  castle  to  the  humbler  peasant  folk  and  child- 
ren of  the  street;  his  great  genius  lying  in  his  ability  to 
adapt  his  verse  and  song  to  fit  any  occasion  or  any  mood  of 
his  listeners.

TTHE  Apollo  Concert  Company  is  a  company  of  strictly  high 
*•       class  musicians  and  entertainers.    A  few  words  at  this 
time  would  be  appropriate  concerning  the  individual  mem- 
bers  of  this  company. 

Mr.  Arthur  Wells  is  a  cultured  musician  of  the  highest 
degree,  a  splendid  banjo  soloist,  a  saxaphone  player,  an  ex- 
perienced teacher  of  banjo,  mandolin  and  guitar,  and  has 
had  ten  years  experience  in  concert  work  with  the  Swiss 
Bell  Ringers,  the  Asetceam  Trio,  the  Wells-Grenewalt  Musi- 
cal Company,  and  others.  Music  has  been  his  profession 
for  16  years,  and  he  has  entertained  in  almost  every  state 
in  the  Union  and  throughout  Canada. 

Mr.  G.  E.  Holmes  has  had  many  years  of  successful  con- 
cert experience  as  cornet  and  flute  soloist  with  various 
concert  companies  and  bands.  For  three  years  he  was 
teacher  of  cornet,  trombone,  flute,  saxaphone  and  harmony; 
he  is  a  well-known  composer  of  band  and  orchestra  music 
having  up  to  the  present  time  nearly  100  compositions 
published  and  on  the  market;  among  them 

"Prospecture  March." 
"Queen  of  Flowers  Waltz." 
"Little  lone  Waltzes." 
"Lights  and  Shadows  Caprice." 
"Primrose  Intermezzo." 

Mrs.  Alta  R.  Wells  is  an  accomplished  pianist,  a  graduate 
of  the  Chicago  Musical  College  with  several  years'  experience 
in  concert  work.  Her  piano  accompaniments  are  one  of  the 
strong  features  of  the  entertainment.  She  also  performs  an 
important  part  in  the  Saxaphone  Quartet  and  Bell  Ringing. 

Miss  Margret  Hucket;  reader  and  soloist  with  a  mezzo 
soprano  voice,  soft  and  musical,  a  fine  entertainer;  enjoyed 
everywhere  she  has  been  heard. 

Mr.  Clay  Smith  began  his  musical  career  as  guitar 
soloist  at  the  World's  Fair,  Chicago,  and  since  that  date  has 
been  steadily  engaged  in  concert  work,  having  been  con- 
nected with  some  of  the  best  bands  and  orchestras  in  this 
country;  he  was  connected  with  the  4th  Regimental  Band 
during  the  St.  Louis  Exposition. 

The  Apollo  Company  is  one  of  the  strongest  Concert  Com- 
panies on  the  platform,  and  will  be  appreciated  by  one  and 
all. 


MR.  MILES. 


EDWIN  BRUSH,  MAGICIAN. 


FIFTEEN  years  ago,  Robert  Parker  Miles,  whom  this  in- 
troduces to  the  platform,  passed  the  turnstile  of  Castle 
Garden,  a  penniless  English  lad.  His  ambition  was  without 
limit,  because  he  had  all  to  get.  He  strove  under  the  lash 
which  impels  drowning  men  to  attempt  swimming.  Yet  in 
his  early  thirties,  he  has  wrested  from  life  fine  academic  train- 
ing. He  has  been  the  co-worker  of  Moody  and  Booth  Tucker, 
the  visitor  of  Gladstone  and  Pope  Leo  XIII. — comrade  of  the 
leading  American  literati.  As  a  star  writer  upon  the  New 
York  Journal  he  has  startled  and  moved  a  million  readers 
into  practical,  religious  thought  and  forced  New  York  into 
humanity  towards  its  working  girls  and  its  fallen;  and  while 
still  a  boy  preacher  he  outstripped  the  wheels  of  justice  and 
moved  the  vilest  murderess  of  this  century  to  confession, 
with  burning  and  pathetic  words.  A  success  while  in  the 
eye  of  the  nation  and  while  the  simple  pastor  of  a  village 
flock — a  marked  man.  A  moralist,  treating  vice  with  that 
true  sympathy  which  influences  the  vicious  for  good,  a  Bret 
Harte  in  sunny  analysis  of  the  good  side  of  bad  men  and 
things.  A  natural  dramatist,  emotional,  vivid,  picturesque, 
he  also  tempers  the  sorrows  of  life  with  good  wit  and 
consoling,  quaint  humor. 

More  than  five  hundred  delighted  audiences  have  con- 
firmed Robert  Parker  Miles'  "title  to  lecture."  Everywhere 
"Tallow  Dips"  has  been  received  with  enthusiasm  and  has 
been  characterized  as  unique,  original,  dramatic,  intensely 
interesting,  with  a  helpful,  inspiring  message  for  everybody. 

In  presenting  Mr.  Edwin  Brush,  there  is  very  little  that 
may  be  added  to  his  already  well  earned  popularity.  He  has 
for  a  number  of  years  been  tested  by  the  most  critical  plat- 
form tests  known  to  the  advanced  Lyceum  and  found  to  be 
a  magician  and  entertainer  par  excellent,  at  the  head  of  his 
profession — in  fact,  in  a  class  by  himself. 

He  performs  Hindoo,  Chinese,  Japanese,  European,  and 
many  original  tricks  in  magic.  He  is  a  Manipulator,  dis- 
playing the  most  marvelous  digital  dexterity — an  Illusionist, 
filling  all  with  awe  and  wonder. 

His  Comedy  and  Humorous  Patters  runs  all  through  his 
program,  at  times  convulsing  his  audience  with  laughter 
and  giving  them  two  entertainments  in  one. 

His  unusually  pleasing  and  magnetic  personality,  his  con- 
summate mastery  of  his  art,  combined  with  the  suave  manner 
in  which  he  perpetuates  his  clever  and  fascinating  deceptions 
upon  his  audience,  makes  his  performance  the  most  unique 
of  its  kind  and  him  a  favorite  with  the  young  and  old.

MiRS.   DAGUE, 

Who  will  have  charge  of  the 
Woman's  Hour — Bible  Conference. 

THE  truly  successful  Readers  of  America  could  be  num- 
bered upon  the  fingers  of  one  hand.  Of  these  leaders 
in  the  speech  arts,  there  are  none  more  thoroughly  delightful 
in  their  interpretations  of  the  artistic  phases  of  life  than 
Mrs.  Gates.  Her  mimetic  appreciation  is  such  that  she 
intuitively  adopts  the  actor's  characteristic  peculiarities  of 
the  personal  of  her  selections.  This  results  in  a  vivacity 
and  realism  which  goes  far  toward  assuring  her  success. 
Her  ability  however  is  much  greater  than  that  of  a  mere 
mimic.  She  is  a  thorough  student  of  her  art,  and  from  the 
critic's  point  of  view,  her  every  effort  is  complete  and  satis- 
fying. A  voice  of  remarkable  strength  and  richness,  together 
with  an  unlimited  capacity  for  study  and  work,  have  aided 
a  charming  personality  and  made  of  her  one  of  the  Great 
Readers  of  today.

It  includes  songs  of  both  Grand  and  Light 
Opera,  classic  and  popular  music,  while  the  old 
time  songs  and  hymns  which  appeal  to  the 
hearts  and  memories  of  men  and  women  who

splendid  balance  on  every  program.  Special

ise and  spiritual  power,  pastor  of  the  West 
Presbyterian  Church  since  1904.  Under  his 
leadership,  the  spiritual  and  missionary  power 
of  the  church  has  been  greatly  strengthened. 
His  church  has  a  membership  of  700,  with  a 
Sunday  School  of  nearly  1,000  people  and  sup- 
ports four  American  missionaries  in  .the  for- 
eign field  and  three  native  workers.

In  selecting  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Pierce  as  one  of  our  attractions 
for  the  coming  year,  we  did  so  with  the  idea  of  presenting  a 
program,  or  form  of  entertainment,  that  would  please  most. 
The  program  which  most  universally  gratifies  is  the  one 
affording  splendid  variety  with  every  feature,  whether  class- 
ical or  popular,  artistically  presented. 

The  personality  of  the  platfprmist  has  much  to  do  with 
his  or  her  reception  by  the  audience.  The  Pierces  have  the 
most  charming  and  winsome  personality.  They  are  popular 
both  on  and  off  the  platform.  This  fact,  combined  with 
their  clever  impersonations  has  made  them  extremely  pop- 
ular for  Chautauqua  work. 


It  is  safe  to  say  that  no  two  artists  on  the  platform  today 
are  presenting  a  more  effective  program  than  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Sprague.  They  satisfy  the  artistic  taste  of  the  most  critical, 
while  touching  the  hearts  of  every  man,  woman  and  child. 

"Esmeralda"  is  a  play  in  which  there  is  more  pull  upon 
the  heart  strings  than  any  other  that  we  know  of.  The 
play  has  been  re-written  for  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Sprague,  so  that 
the  two  persons,  each  playing  several  characters  in  costume, 
have  the  effect  of  that  of  a  larger  company.  The  play  and 
inter-play  of  passions,  interest  and  emotions  in  this  great 
American  comedy  produced  by  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Sprague  is 
wonderful  to  a  degree. 

During  their  second  evening  with  us  they  will  present 
Rip  yan  Winkle.  This  dreamy  old  legend  clings  to  the 
American  people  more  closely  than  any  other  written  story. 
We  know  that  he  was  as  much  a  fancy  of  a  great  brain  as 
were  the  gray-bearded  ghosts  of  Hudson  and  his  men;  but 
Rip,  the  jolly  vagabond,  and  Rip,  the  pathetic  hero  of  a 
twenty  years'  sleep,  are  more  real  to  us  than  Irving,  whose 
hand  penned  the  immortal  picture.  Since  Joseph  Jefferson 
passed  from  the  stage  of  life,  no  actor  in  this  Country  has 
presented  "Rip  Van  Winkle"  as  does  Herbert  Sprague.  He 
is  ably  assisted  by  Mrs.  Sprague,  whose  splendid  work  is  a 
feature  of  this  excellent  program.

BOY  SCOUTS  AT  CHAUTAUQUA 

NE  of  the  greatest  movements  of  the  present  Age  is  the 
"Boy  Scouts  of  America."  The  Directors,  appreciating 
the  importance  of  this  Movement,  have  offered  free  admis- 
sion to  all  Boys  Scouts  during  encampment  in  order  to 
encourage  the  various  troops  to  hold  their  encampment  at 
Chautauqua.  There  is  plenty  of  space  for  encampments, 
and  no  more  beautiful  place  can  be  found  than  at  Piasa 
Chautauqua.  We  will  also  assist  the  Scout  Masters  in  pre- 
paring their  encampment  and  in  every  other  way  possible 
to  make  their  encampment  at  Chautauqua  most  enjoyable. 


•ROCKY   HKND." 
Mr.   L.  W.  Manning,  St.  Louis,  Mo. 

Far  away  the  City  thunders,  and  Life  surges  like  a  stream: 

Here  are  afternoons  of  rapture,  silence  and  a  golden  dream. 

I  am  coming  when  they  call  me — Summer  and  my  Summer 

maid, 

Oh   the   wonder   of   Chautauqua,   full   of   shadows   and    of 
shade. 

With  apologies  to  Chas.  Hanson  Towne. 


"OAKHUKST" 
Mrs.  J.  A.  Corrington,  Danville,  111. 


The  foolish  fears  of  what  might  happen, 

I  cast  them  all  away, 
Among  the  clover-scented  grass, 

Among  the  new  mown  hay, 
Among  the  husking  of  the  corn, 

Where  drowsy  poppies  nod, 
Where  ill  thoughts  die  and  good  are  born, 

Out  in  the  fields  with  God. 

Elizabeth  Barrett  Browning.

BOATING   AND   FISHING 


The  Mississippi  River  is  over  one  mile  wide  at  Chautauqua, 
affording  excellent  opportunities  for  boating.  The  fishing 
is  also  good.  Launches,  row  boats,  fishing  tackle,  etc.,  can 
be  had  at  boat  landing.  There  are  also  many  enjoyable  short 
excursions  on  the  river,  launches  or  larger  boats  making  ex- 
cursion trips  to  Grafton,  or  short  distances  up  the  Illinois 
River  or  to  the  mouth  of  the  Missouri  River.

Prizes  for  Flower  Gardens. 

I7OR  the  purpose  of  encouraging  the  planting  of  flowers 
*•  and  beautifying  the  Grounds,  the  Board  of  Directors 
offer  the  following  prizes  for  the  best  flower  beds. 

First  Prize  $12.00 
Second,  Prize  8.00 
Third  Prize  5.00 


Rustic  Tea  Houses  and  Look-outs  are  very  popular  at 
the  present  time.  Many  of  the  beautiful  summer  homes  of 
St.  Louis  have  them,  several  have  already  been  built  at  Chau- 
tauqua,  and  this  feature  is  encouraged.  We  show  herewith 
a  design  that  will  give  those  interested  an  idea.  These 
Look-outs  are  inexpensive  and  are  beautiful. 

A  very  complete  catalogue  of  this  work  can  be  had  by 
addressing  the  Rustic  Construction  Works,  33  Fulton  St., 
New  York  City. 


A  Bungalow  with  5  rooms  and  screened,  dining  porch,  bath, 
etc.,  that  can  be  built  for  approximately  $1,000. 


SUGGESTIONS  FOR  THOSE  WHO  CONTEMPLATE 
BUILDING 

V\7HILE  PIASA  CHAUTAUQUA  is  a  beautiful  place,  it 
**  might  be  still  more  beautiful  had  more  attention  been 
given  to  the  architectural  designs  of  the  cottages.  The  by- 
laws provide  that  plans  be  submitted  to  the  Board  for  ap- 
proval, but  in  many  cases  this  has  not  been  done  and 
particularly  so  in  former  years  when  buildings  have  been 
erected  on  the  Grounds  that  were  not  suitable  but  which 
could  have  been  much  more  attractive  and  been  more  in 
keeping  with  the  beauty  of  the  place  without  costing  any 
more  money  had  the  proper  ideas  been  carried  out.  For  this 
purpose  we  are  suggesting  a  few  designs  of  inexpensive 
bungalows  that  are  strictly  proper  for  a  summer  resort  and 
which  will  not  cost  very  much,  if  any,  more  than  the  old 
style  common  frame  house  that  has  been  built  in  the  past. 


5   rooms,   screened   dining   porch,  bath,   etc.,   approximately 

$1250.00 


6  rooms  screened  dining  porch,  attic,  bath,  etc.,  approximately 

$1500.00 

Further  information  regarding  plans  and  specifications  of 
strictly  up-to-date  bungalows  can  be  had  by  applying  to  Mr. 
W.  E.  Caulfield  on  the  Grounds,  or  by  addressing  E.  W.  Still- 
well  &  Co.,  Los  Angeles,  Calif. 


In  painting  your  cottage,  the  Board  requests  that  you  conform  to  the  Chautauqua  colors,  (Green  and  White)  as  closely  as 
is  consistent.

CONVENIENCES   FOR  VISITORS 

The  Ladies'  Civic  Improvement  Association  is  composed 
of  100  or  more  Chautauqua  ladies.  The  object  of  the  Associa- 
tion is  to  assist  in  beautifying  the  grounds,  and  providing 
features  necessary  for  the  comfort  of  ladies  who  visit 
Chautauqua;  to  welcome  strangers  and  make  them  feel  at 
home;  to  promote  good  fellowship  among  Chautauquans, 
etc.  A  splendid  example  of  their  work  is  the  "House  of 
Public  Comfort." 


"HOUSE   OF  PUBLIC   COMFORT." 

Situated  in  the  center  of  the  grounds,  is  a  two-story 
structure  with  a  spacious  reception  room  and  fire  place  on 
the  first  floor,  supplied  with  usual  furnishings.  Adjoining 
are  the  toilet  rooms.  The  entrance  to  the  ladies'  rooms  is 
from  the  reception  room,  the  entrance  to  the  men's  toilet 
is  from  the  porch.  Modern  sanitary  plumbing  is  the  prime 
feature  in  the  construction. 

The  stairs  lead  from  these  to  the  bath  rooms  on  the  sec- 
ond floor.  Hot  water  heaters  are  installed  in  each  room, 
which  will  be  especially  appreciated. 

A  porch  with  tables  and  chairs  will  add  to  the  comfort. 
Here  the  garden  is  confined  to  flower  boxes  which  will  dec- 
orate the  porch.  This  improvement  has  been  made  possible 
by  the  liberal  donations  of  cottage  owners  and  friends,  who, 
as  well  as  all  visitors,  will  enjoy  the  comfort  for  which  it 
was  intended.  All  are  welcome.  There  will  be  a  sales  booth, 
where  bath  shoes,  sun  hats  and  toilet  articles  can  be  pur- 
chased. The  proceeds  will  go  to  the  Ladies'  Civic  Improve- 
ment Association. 


WOMAN'S  CHRISTIAN  TEMPERANCE  UNION. 

Wednesday,  July  17th,  Thursday,  July  18th  and  Friday, 
July  19th,  will  be  Woman's  Christian  Temperance  Union's 
Days  at  Chautauqua.  They  will  have  charge  of  certain 
services  during  these  days  with  a  string  of  fine  speakers, 
a  gold  medal  contest,  and  other  features  that  will  be  very 
interesting. 

(See   program.) 


W.  C.  T.  U.  COTTAX3E,  CHAUTAUQUA,  ILL. 

The  many  friends  and  patrons  of  the  cottage  belonging 
to  the  Woman's  Christian  Temperance  Union,  will  be  glad 
to  know  that  the  former  Superintendent,  Mrs.  Jesse  Hanan 
of  Springfield,  will  again  have  charge.  Address  her  at 
Chautauqua,  111.,  after  June  1st. 

GROCERIES  AND  MEAT. 

Mr.  I.  P.  Smith  will  operate  the  Grocery  and  Meat  Shop, 
and  carry  a  good  assortment  of  groceries,  fruits  in  season, 
fresh  and  dried  meats.  He  has  erected  and  filled  a  large 
ice-house  and  will  make  daily  deliveries  at  reasonable  prices. 
He  asks  the  patronage  of  all  and  is  entitled  to  it. 

NEW   LAUNDRY  AT   CHAUTAUQUA 

Mr.  Fred  Smith  of  Alton  will  have  charge  of  the  Laundry 
at  Chautauqua,  during  the  entire  season.  Shirts,  collars, 
cuffs,  skirts,  shirtwaists  and  fancy  washing  a  specialty. 
Terms  will  be  the  same  as  at  Alton.  Mr.  Smith  is  a  reliable 
man  and  guarantees  satisfactory  service.

"SUMMER  RiEST" 
Women's  Christian  Home  Association,   St.   Louis,   Mo. 

Summer  Rest,  the  vacation  resort  for  business  women  that 
has  for  many  years  been  successfully  conducted  by  the  man- 
agers of  the  Women's  Christian  Home,  of  St.  Louis,  (the 
oldest  branch  of  the  St.  Louis  Women's  Christian  Associa- 
tion), is  permanently  located  on  one  of  the  most  attractive 
sites  of  the  beautiful  grounds  of  Piasa  Chautauqua.  One 
year  ago  the  management  purchased  and  improved  a  delight- 
ful cottage,  to  which  it  cordially  invited  business  women  who 
desired  a  pleasant,  restful  vacation  at  small  expense.  They 
accepted  the  invitation,  were  enthusiastic  in  their  praise  of 
the  place,  and  sent  their  friends.  The  one  summer  convinced 
the  ladies  of  the  Board  that  they  must  enlarge  their  borders, 
and  having  the  opportunity,  they  purchased  the  building  for- 
merly known  as  Roades'  Hotel,  and  now  have  abundant  room 
for  many  guests.  The  building  is  located  near  the  station 
and  steamboat  landing,  near  the  swimming  pool,  the  store, 
the  Auditorium  and  the  Spring. 

The  Roades  Hotel  has  always  been  a  popular  hostelry  with 
good  accommodations  at  reasonable  rates.  Even  this  good 
reputation  will  be  improved  under  the  present  management, 
who  greatly  desire  the  patronage  of  those  whom  they  wish  to 
benefit.  Any  woman  of  good  moral  character,  earning  her 
living,  and  mother  and  sisters  dependant  upon  her,  are  cor- 
dially invited  to  spend  their  vacation  at  Summer  Rest.  Board 
$3.00  per  week;  special  terms  when  necessary.  Mrs.  A.  L. 
Rider,  the  lady  who  so  acceptably  conducted  the  Rest  last 
summer,  will  be  in  charge. 

Summer  Rest  will  open  June  1st.  Until  the  industrial 
women  occupy  the  entire  hotel,  friends  of  the  Christian  Home 
are  invited  to  hold  house-parties  at  a  low  rental.  For  such 
a  purpose  no  more  charming  spot  can  be  chosen.  Full  par- 
ticulars given  at

NEW   PIASA   CHAUTAUQUA 


CHAUTAUQUA,  ILL. 


RATES  OF  ADMISSION. 

Piasa  Chautauqua  was  not  organized  for  the  purpose  of 
making  money.  Its  revenue  is  derived  from  gate  admissions, 
concessions,  assessments  against  property  holders,  and  gifts 
from  friends. 

From  June  1st  to  Sept.  15th,  every  person  on  the  Piasa 
Chautauqua  Grounds  is  required  to  have  a  ticket.  No  extra 
fee  will  be  charged  for  the  Bible  Conference,  the  Conference 
being  supported  by  contributions  from  friends. 

RATES    OF 


THE  TICKET  SYSTEM. 

The  ticket  system  of  Piasa  Chautauqua  has  been  worked 
out  in  an  effort  to  protect  the  interest  of  the  Association, 
and  do  everybody  justice.  The  expense  of  keeping  up  the 
Grounds  is  very  heavy  and  the  sale  of  tickets  being  the  prin- 
cipal source  of  revenue  it  requires  close  attention  to  that 
feature.  The  holder  of  a  ticket  does  not  pay  for  entrance 
only,  but  for  privileges  provided. 

The  Association  is  not  responsible  for  lost  tickets  but  will 
in  every  way  possible  assist  in  recovering  the  lost  ticket.  If 
the  ticket  is  not  recovered,  the  loser  is  expected  to  purchase 
a  ticket  covering  the  time  of  the  original  ticket.  This  is 
necessary  for  the  reason  that  the  ticket  when  found  may 
be  used  by  some  other  person.
